Abstract
Cronbach alpha coefficient is still commonly used in research dedicated to the development of psychologicaltests. However, there is a certain lack of understanding of the significance of real and, especially, has its limits.The article presents the fundamental postulates of classical test theory and analyzes, in this context, the mainissues affecting the calculation and interpretation of Cronbach alpha coefficient: unidimensionality, internal consistency,item number, characteristics of the data, the sampling error. Finally, are summarized recommendationsof good practices on the use and reporting Cronbach's alpha.
